100K no longer a big deal

I guess I am not in the same reality as the writers of this article or the audience they are targeting, but I’m sure many will have absolutely no sympathy for the individuals Yahoo.finance’s piece refers to who make $100,000 a year and find it’s not enough.

Granted the point is that inflation coupled with college tuition, health costs and living expenses have negatively changed wage perceptions, but come on.

The story also points out that expectations of what you can do with a 100k annual salary are much lower these days.

Well, no they are not.

Because while 100k may not go as far as it used to, as the writer points out, it still goes a hell of a lot further than half of 100k, which is about how much the average U.S. household earns.
